Will it Click? Or I Guess the Better Question is Will They?

It's not my first rodeo, as they say, dabbling a bit with YouTube. All said, I have three channels. None of them are monetized, and so far, none of them are "successful." But I also can't say any of them were endeavors of seriousness. In other words, one was just a place to share stuff. The other was an attempt to capitalize on and extend my audience from my blogs and other writing to a different format. The latest attempt is to share AI music created from original songs I have written over the years, either full demos or what I call "false starts." The main goal for me really is to simply share what I do and have fun with it. But the wonder is, will it click? I have heard so many success stories on YouTube that just sort of happened by accident. Being in the right place at the right time or picking a "topic" that just happens to be something that piques enough interest to get the wheels turning even when you're not necessarily trying to. I think music can be something like that. Even if it's AI and not me performing, even though I essentially am writing the music and the lyrics. What does it take? Perhaps just one song that clicks, and thus, they click. Or they add your song to a favorite playlist and spin it more than once, over and over again. The bottom line is, my aim isn't necessarily to make money at it or even make it a business. But at the same time, I do acknowledge it could work. Even if it doesn't, I know I will just have fun any way. And if I am to measure success anyway, I suppose it doesn't necessarily have to be measured in dollars and cents. What say you?
